Christmas and Happy Ever Afters
Every Christmas since we've been married, both Riss and I have always waited until the last minute to buy Christmas presents, by last minute I mean 23rd and 24th of December ... It's not even December yet and we already have all of Kaylie's presents, some of them are even wrapped, I feel accomplished, now all we have to get is everyone else's, and each others (that will probably be last minute)... the only thing we have to figure out now is, if we are going to take everything to St. Louis with us, it would be weird coming back from STL on the 26th and doing presents when we get home, but then again, i don't think I want to cart all that stuff 700 miles there, and then 700 miles back again ... I don't think i want to do the drive period, I 70 is fucking boring, you get a few minutes driving through Columbus and the Indianapolis when you actually see people and buildings and then it's back to corn, and a few cows if you're lucky.
As much as I want to see friends at Christmas, I'm also kinda sad were not going to be spending Christmas in Pittsburgh, last Christmas was just weird, it kinda snuck up and the disappeared again, didn't really feel like Christmas at all, the year before that I just got out of hospital and was still so doped up on pain meds I would have had a good time at an insurance seminar … so again missed it, so this year,, I'm all geared up for it, eat drink and be merry, St. Louis has a lot of fun places like Lacledes Landing, and Delmar Blvd, but I still think I would rather eat drink and be merry at Station Square on Christmas eve. (Pittsburgh girls are more fun … ssshhh don't tell Riss)
Then, we have to start moving into the new house, which I'm not looking forward too, I like the Idea of being in a bigger nicer house, I just hate the Idea of getting all our stuff from one place to the next, you can only walk up and down stairs so many times carrying armloads of things you really don't need before you start feeling like a lemming and think "fuck it" and want to jump the banister. Seriously though, I was a little skeptical about this move at first, but now I'm starting to get excited about it. It really is a nice house, the kin of place you can have people over and be proud of (not in a stuck up way)
Finally …
I Starting to feel comfortable / content with my job again, I don't have to drag my ass to Beaver Falls, Washington and WV every week, I'm right here at home, my new area is Upper St. Clair … which is very cool, it's where I live so I can stop home for Lunch, Mt. Lebanon, Bethel Park, South Park and Dormont … and sometimes Carnegie. I like rolling out of bed and already being halfway to work. It's fun too when a lot of the houses you go to are people that you know, and see around.
